My mother-in-law used to make a dessert called "old ladys' teeth" made from nuts and fried bits of dough and mixed with honey. I have not been able to find a recipe for it. I assume it was either Egyptian or Lebanese . Anyone ever heard of it?

I wonder if you mean ara'eesh, though not sure about nuts being in it. It has an aniseed flavour in it and is deep fried then soaked in sugar syrup. Here is a recipe ideas think resembles it http://shahiya.com/english/recipes/maakaroun-3119

Hi, im after the recipe for a cookie/biscuit called emra'ad. It usually has aniseed and/or fennel flavour added to it & its pressed into a mould to get a round shape with a design engraved. Can anyone help me find this recipe???

Some years ago, Lebanese visitors in Rhodes Island Hellas, gave us a large tin full of Lebanese Sweets. They were somewhat similar to Baklava and Kataifi which are made in Hellas and in Turkey. I can only say this. I thought it was the most delightful sweet of its type and cannot compare to anything else I have tasted. The Lebanese sweets are just heavenly. I would do anything to taste them again.
